Peace, to have meaning for many who have known only suffering in both peace in war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health, and education as well as freedom and human dignity. A steadily better life.

If peace is to be secured, long suffering and longstarved, forgotten peoples of the world, the underprivileged and the undernourished, must begin to realize without delay the promise of a new day and a new life.

I used to feel a little hopeless about this kind of thinking; I mean, being a defeatist and thinking that people wouldn't be able to understand or even care about people in the basic necessity sense. A lot of people seem more concerned with "hearts and minds", whatever that means, than providing physical resources for people. I think empathy should be taught, taught because we as people can't ever lose sight of what matters on the day-to-day, week-to-week priorities of the underprivileged. it's something i forget myself sometimes.
